PURSER WELLNESSGe Gene SNPs Cause Vitamin Deficiencies?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Yes—your genetics can directly cause vitamin deficiencies. Certain SNPs lower your body’s ability to process or make key nutrients, like MTHFR reducing folate use, PEMT lowering phosphatidylcholine production for gut and liver health, and SOD decreasing antioxidant defenses against free radicals. These deficiencies drive inflammation, fatigue, and chronic illness, but with the right genetic and intracellular testing, you can target them and supplement with the exact forms your body needs Info: http://www.DanPurserMD.com Supplements: https://www.PhysicianDesigned.com Books: https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B00BIKSGVQ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/danpursermd Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhysicianDesigned Twitter: https://twitter.com/realdanpursermd YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/danpursermd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danpurser.md Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/danpursermd

PURSER WELLNESSWhat is PD 80/20? A DHEA Powerhouse?A conversation with Dr. Purser

PD 80/20 is a supplement designed to raise three key hormones in women—DHEA, pregnenolone, and testosterone. It’s especially useful for restoring testosterone naturally, though it doesn’t typically resolve vaginal dryness unless paired with other therapies. Safe and effective, it gives women an accessible way to boost hormone balance.

PURSER WELLNESSDo you need to STOP vitamins before Intracellular Testing?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Patients often ask if they should stop supplements before an intracellular CMA test, and the answer is no. The test measures nutrient status inside your cells over the last 90–100 days, so stopping vitamins right before won’t change the results. At most, you might skip your dose a few hours before the draw, but it’s not necessary—CMA still provides an accurate snapshot of your nutrient levels while you’re on your current routine.

PURSER WELLNESSCopper Overload In Body - What Can You Do?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Copper is essential for life—it helps enzymes work, supports SOD1 for antioxidant defense, and even prepares iron to carry oxygen in the blood. But when copper builds up in the bloodstream instead of entering cells, it causes pain, tender points, and migraines. This often ties back to genes like CBS, NAT2, and glutathione-related SNPs that impair copper transport. The solution is supporting ceruloplasmin—the copper-binding protein—with targeted nutrients like B6, zinc, and NAC. That’s why Copper Balance was created: to move copper where it belongs and help symptoms finally improve. Visit PhysicianDesigned.com or Amazon for Copper Balance.

PURSER WELLNESSOptimal Hormone Levels for Women?A conversation with Dr. Purser

For women in menopause, optimal hormone levels are higher than most guidelines suggest: testosterone above 50, estradiol above 40, and progesterone above 10 (ideally near 20). These levels better support bone, heart, and brain health in later years.

PURSER WELLNESSAre Osteoporosis and Menopause Connected in you Hormones?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Osteoporosis often strikes after menopause because hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA are what push vitamins, minerals, and amino acids into bones—without them, bones weaken quickly.

PURSER WELLNESSWhat Symptoms are caused by Lack of Progesterone?A conversation with Dr. Purser

About 95% of hot flashes are caused by low progesterone, while estradiol explains around 3% and testosterone about 1%. Rarely, thyroid or other factors may contribute, but progesterone is the main player.
